Investigations were opened in early 2025, in the first weeks of the Trump administration's immigration crackdown, following demands from Trump and other administration officials. The disclosure came from Jill Fields, a former supervisory intelligence analyst at the FBI's Los Angeles field office, according to reporting carried by CNN. The claim has drawn attention to the extent of political direction over FBI activity during the enforcement push.

Why now: A former FBI analyst's disclosure suggests the White House directly pressured the bureau to open investigations during the immigration crackdown.
